New Orleans Pelicans, Larry Nance Jr. reach 2-year, $21.6M extension, agent says

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr., has agreed to a two-year, $21.6 million contract extension, his agent Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports told ESPN on Saturday.

The extension, tying Nance Jr. to the franchise through the 2024-2025 season, allows him to join the Pelicans key players -- including Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum -- on long-term deals.

Nance Jr., 29, arrived to the Pelicans in a February trade with the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a package with McCollum, and he didn't make his debut until March 24 with a right knee injury.
